How to Recognize If You’ve Been Injured in a Car Accident

Symptoms of car accident injuries can often be cumulative rather than immediate, making it hard to gauge whether you have sustained an injury right away.

Even if you are not experiencing pain, look out for other symptoms like:

• Numbness or tingling sensations in the limbs

• Unexplained headaches

• Fatigue

• Muscle stiffness or muscle spasms

• Restlessness or problems sleeping

• Inability to focus

If you’ve been in a car crash, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider right away to prevent your symptoms from worsening. We recommend Crash Care Clinics a mobile auto-injury chiropractic service, who can evaluate you at Body Treat immediately prior to your first massage. Once established we can help you recover from auto injuries quickly and efficiently.

Massage Therapy After a Car Accident: Why You Shouldn’t Wait to Be Seen

After a car accident, many people assume they can wait and see how they feel before seeking treatment. It’s common to think, “I’ll give it a week and see if the pain goes away.” Unfortunately, delaying care can actually make recovery more difficult in the long run.

Research consistently shows that those who receive treatment soon after an accident tend to heal more effectively compared to those who put it off. Even if you don’t feel immediate pain, underlying injuries may still be present. The impact of a crash can overstretch or tear soft tissues, and while symptoms might not appear right away, inflammation and stiffness often develop within hours or overnight.

When muscles and ligaments are injured, the body naturally responds by restricting movement and triggering inflammation. White blood cells flood the area to begin the healing process, and scar tissue starts to form. Without proper treatment, this scar tissue can lead to ongoing pain, restricted mobility, and even long-term joint issues.

Early intervention is crucial in preventing these complications. By addressing injuries before excessive scar tissue develops, treatment helps restore movement, alleviate discomfort, and support a smoother, more complete recovery. Prioritizing care right away gives your body the best chance to heal properly, reducing the risk of chronic pain and long-term dysfunction.

Our Portland Car Accident Massage Therapist Offers the Following Care

  • Deep Tissue: Deep tissue massage targets deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue to break up adhesions, reduce inflammation, and relieve chronic pain—making it effective for post-accident recovery.

  • Swedish: Swedish massage uses gentle, flowing strokes to relax muscles, reduce stress, and improve circulation—ideal for calming the nervous system and supporting recovery after an auto accident.

  • Tui na: Tui Na is a Chinese medical massage that uses rhythmic pressure and stretching to release tension, restore mobility, and promote healing—effective for treating pain and stiffness after an auto injury.

  • Heat Therapy: Heat therapy helps relax tight muscles, increase blood flow, and reduce stiffness—making it a powerful tool for relieving pain and speeding recovery after an auto accident.

  • Cupping therapy: A time tested therapy that uses suction to boost circulation, reduce pain, and speed healing—ideal for treating whiplash and soft tissue injuries after an auto accident.

  • CBD: CBD massage uses cannabidiol-infused oils to reduce inflammation, ease pain, and promote relaxation—perfect for relieving tension and speeding recovery after an auto injury.

What Clients Are Saying About Body Treat and Accident Massage Therapy Services

“Have you ever had a massage that feels like someone gently applying sunscreen for an hour?  This is NOT that.  A massage with Roy is the real deal-you feel it, in the best possible way.  From deep tissue to precise acupressure work, it’s strong and intentional, but never so intense that you’re clenching your jaw or Lameze breathing through it.  Roy’s intuition is next level, and he genuinely wants your feedback so he can tailor the session to exactly what your body needs. 

From the moment you walk in, Roy is warm, professional, and genuinely curious about what you want to accomplish with your time together.  And once you’re on that perfectly heated table?  Prepare to be transformed-literally.  I’m pretty sure I walked out at least an inch taller, and a whole lot lighter emotionally.  I felt completely restored.  

Roy’s knowledge of the body, his precision, and his ability to tune in are incredibly rare.  I’ve followed him from Knot Springs to his own practice because he’s just that good.  I tell everyone I know:  a massage from Roy is one of the best gifts you can give yourself.”

• Chemin Reed

“First deep tissue massage where I left feeling better instead of worse! Roy is incredibly thorough, and I highly recommend the cupping add on.  I'm already looking forward to the next one.”

• Alex Kelsey

“Amazing work!  Roy is truly a gifted LMT.  I received a 90 min deep tissue massage, and I didn’t want it to end.  I woke up this morning and was pain free for the first time in a long time.  Roy’s touch is intuitive, healing, and knowledgeable.  His work made me apologetic to my body, and thankful for his healing touch.  I’ve been getting massages over 20 yrs and Roy blessed me with one of the best massages I’ve experienced.  I found my new LMT!
